This channel is all about chronicling my fishing adventures in North Carolina. I primarily fish the Yadkin River Chain but enjoy going to the coast any chance I get. I hope you all enjoy.

"Feels like a flounder." Usually ends up a nice trout! Lol. Nice video, bud. Hope you're on em already this year up there. I need to hit the road and join my inner banks bros. Looks like that day was dialed up for speckled trout, too.
I actually just got back from a trip down there two days ago, I’ve posted a few shorts from the trip and hope to have the full video up within a week. It isn’t quite on fire yet, but it was a decent trip non the less. I’d say as soon as it cools down they will be on fire.
@@lookingforthenextbite178 I live in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Fishing used to be great here I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or if all the lakes are just over fished.
Could you get away with using the stradic in the surf (say you throwing lures from the beach but not actually knee or waist deep in the surf) and not have much issues, if you rinse off after ever trip?
I would not use the stradic for heavy surf fishing anytime I have used it there I have not been wading. If there is any risk of submerging or heavy salt spray I would go with the back bay. The back bay is sealed, the stradic is not.
@@aroshanrai5213 on the traditional Daiwa reels like the regular saltist they do run big but on the back bay models they are comparable to Shimano size. My 3k back bay is the same size as my 3k stradic.
I own at least a dozen abu's from 4500's and 4600's all the way up to a couple 7000's. Abu's are great reels with a lot of "aftermarket" parts to really step up the performance. But at about $140-170 for the 6000 series reels, the abu's have priced themselves out of their "niche" as an affordable even under priced tough reel. I just can't pay $150+ with tax for a reel that has 3+1 bearings and 15# of drag.....especially if I'm going to put $75 worth of ceramic bearings and better drag washers in it. The C3's and C4's produced today are the same design as the reels made 20 years ago and are made with more chinesium parts now than ever before. I just can't justify buying more abu's when lews or kastking or other import reels are built almost exactly the same and for a better price.
Love my abu c-3’s. As far as the spool release button goes, you have to roll the pressure off the spool to release the spool so you don’t accidentally disengage the spool while fighting a fish. Also abu just raised their prices. Great video!
You should have put a small pies of plywood under the big hole and screwed it in from Belo. Marinetex isn't structural. When your gorilla tape falls off so will the Marinetex.
Great review. I have a regular BG 3000 and the size difference between the back bay and the regular BG is substantial. I really don't think it's too heavy for light jig at all. That's pretty much what it's made for. I have mine on a 7' medium st croix avid with 15 pound power pro and it's perfect!
Hi. Never had a chance to hold this reel. I was wondering how this compares to tranx 400. I have some issues with tranx due to lack of adjusting the cast controll brakes. I Just wish it had magnet as well. This series of reels seem to have exact infiniti brakes as Abu Revo series and this is superior for me in comparison to shimanos SVS brakink system.
I’ve never used a tranx so I can’t really say comparatively. I do believe this reel is larger than a tranx 400 and I know it holds more line. As far as the Revo goes Abu Garcia bought Penn so I’m pretty sure this is a saltwater version of the Revo beast. More corrosion resistance etc.
